In high school Skye was a cheerleader for two years, however she says she was "the horny kid" in high school, and between boys and her love of snowboarding didn't attend school that often. She attended Southampton High School in New York City for a time, but finished up in California.

Prior to her film career, she used to design children's bedrooms and worked for a retail store. Skye first hit the hardcore scene in 2001, and currently she has featured in more than 290 movies, notably many episodes of the Shane's World series, becoming one of the biggest non-contract porn stars in the adult industry.

She had refused to sign a contract with any adult industry companies, claiming she wanted to work for herself. In November 2003, she signed a contract with Sineplex Entertainment to perform and direct for them, but that was quickly amended so she was not exclusive to Sineplex.

Skye is a huge fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and often goes to see the UFC fights in Las Vegas, being responsible of making the UFC popular among porn stars, as in the case of Jenna Jameson or Teagan Presley who have started to be interested in the UFC after knowing about Skye's love for it. She says that her favorite male porn star to work with is Nacho Vidal and her favorite female porn star is Belladonna.

On June 15, 2003, Skye ducked under a boundary rope and ran onto the putting green at Olympia Fields Country Club during the final round of the U.S. Open. The actress, who was topless at the time and had the URL of an online casino, goldenpalace.com, written on her chest and back, tried to present a flower to one of the competitors, Jim Furyk.

After spending a night in county jail, Skye was charged with one count of disorderly conduct for her actions, then left the state to return to her home in California. When she returned to Illinois for her court date, she found that the judge frowned on her actions and required her to spend an additional night in jail for leaving the state. She ended up paying $1000 and was put on probation for six months.
